What travelers say about Baguio

General opinion: Situated amidst the mountainous region of Cordillera, 1,500 meters above the sea, 250 kilometers north of Manila, Baguio City is one of the few place in the Philippines blessed with a cool climate. On average, Baguio is at least eight degrees cooler than any place in the lowlands. Not surprisingly, Baguio has become the "summer capital" of the country.

No surprise then that Baguio is considered the "summer capital" of
the country.
In the early 19th century the Spaniards, during their long occupation of the
area, were able to establish order, built churches and schools, made trails
and introduced ... More coffee.
The arrival of the Americans at the beginning of 1900 spurred development in
Baguio. Their best administrators and teachers were fervent boosters and promoters:
Worcester, Wright, Forbes, Pack, Barrows, Eckman and others who together with
Filipinos committed to make the place heaven.
The events of the Second World War stalled all development, leaving Baguio in
total devastation. However, the war changed course and on September 3, 1945,
General Yamashita formally surrendered to the Americans and the city immediately
set to the task of rehabilitation.
Baguio today is a wonderful and modern city, performing a multiplicity of roles,
as an educational, trade, tourism and administrative centre.

General opinion: Very beautiful place, I really want to stay there. I love all the places around it, the view and the temperature was so cold and the mining places there was all great and the strawberries wag wag ukay ukay u can saw it too.

General opinion: During peak season, it is heavy traffic, congested, and the worst thing is the smoke belching FX Taxis, Jeepneys, dirty Burnham Parks and no parking intended for tourist. Unlike during past decades, Baguio was so beautiful and clean, even the air you can smell the breeze, Pine Trees. But today what happen?
